Mentos To Give Away "Mentos Soda Geyser Loading Tubes"?

Captain of the Internet and friend of the blog Evilzug informs us that Mentos may or may not be giving away “loading tubes” designed specifically for making Diet Coke and Mentos geysers with specially marked “Mentos Mint 6pks.”

This is excellent news, because as far as we’re concerned Diet Coke isn’t good for anything except for making Mentos geysers. Come to think of it, Mentos aren’t good for anything else either. A loading tube provides a valuable service to consumers. —MEGHANN MARCO

@mopar_man: Haven’t you seen that paper towel commercial (Viva?) where the kid shakes up a bottle of orange soda, the cap flies off then the soda soaks everything (including mom) in the kitchen? To add further insult mom grabs the faucet sprayer and starts spraying the kid with it. Yep–that responsible Madison Avenue marketing at work!

Is it any wonder why the rest of the world hates America? While people all over the world (including here in the US) are starving, so called “food” manufacturers are coming up with more intriguing ways for us to play games with our food. This is a waste of food, and natural resources involved in making the plastic bottles. not to mention all the fossil fuels burned in transporting coke and other noxious liquids around the country.

Reminds me of the Seinfeld sketch about explaining dinner at a restaurant to a starving person… “Oh that? that’s the food we eat while the main food is being prepared. Oh, and that stuff, oh that’s just what we eat after the main meal, even though we’re full already”.

@virgilstar: Yeah, other countries hate the U.S. because of mentos and coke. I’m sure it has nothing to do with our policing the world, or unpopular wars, or bad foreign policy. It’s all because some people wasted a few candies and a bottle of diet soda.

Seriously… we’re a hated country because we burn fossil fuels transporting coke? Reality Alert!… they sell coke in almost every country, and I don’t think they’re distributing it by camel. It’s going out on older, more inefficient trucks, and possibly ending up in a restaurant!

I’ve personally seen an Afghani man waste both food and drinking water for comedic purposes. Joking around is human nature, and sometimes expendable items get used in the process. It’s life. Some people might enjoy it more if they pulled that stick out of their a**.
